Employee/contractor misclassification issues and the AB5 requirements
I'm not versed in AB5 (the gig worker bill targeting Uber/Lyft that unfortunately impacts many independent contractors/consultants as well), which went into effect in January this year. I just read that a non-compete clause in a contract can be a red flag that the consultant should be reclassified as an employee. So, I'm wondering if there are any other related sections/terms in a typical consulting contract that would result in the employee/contractor misclassification issues and the AB5 requirements. Has anyone looked into this?
